Windermere Lake Cruises
Windermere Lake Cruises offers scenic boat trips across England’s largest natural lake, providing a relaxing and picturesque way to experience the Lake District. Cruises run year-round from Bowness, Ambleside, and Lakeside, with options ranging from 45-minute circular tours to full-length lake journeys.
An ideal way to explore the lake and connect to villages around Lake Windermere.
The boats glide past wooded shorelines, grand houses, and gentle hills, offering panoramic views and photo opportunities throughout. Commentary is available on many routes, sharing stories of local history and wildlife. Tickets can be bought for individual routes or as part of hop-on, hop-off day passes that link with local attractions like the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway and the Lakes Aquarium.
The fleet includes modern and heritage vessels, many with open decks and indoor seating. Refreshments are served on board, and dogs are welcome. Cruises run frequently in summer and less often in winter, so advance booking is recommended during busy months.
